So, we conducted an embryotoxicity test using zebrafish (<i>Danio rerio</i>) according to the OECD 236 guideline, a model that represents a viable alternative that bridges the gap between in vitro and mammalian models. Zebrafish embryos were exposed for 120 h to microspheres containing nSrHA nanoparticles with low and high crystallinity, synthesized at temperatures of 5°C (nSrHA5) and 90°C (nSrHA90). We evaluated lethality, developmental parameters, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. The larval behavior was assessed at 168 hpf to determine if the biomaterials affected motor responses and anxiety-like behavior. The results showed that the survival rate decreased significantly for the nSrHA5 group (low crystalline particles), and an increase in ROS was also observed in this group. However, none of the biomaterials caused morphological changes indicative of toxicity during larval development. Additionally, the behavioral tests did not reveal any alterations in all experimental groups, indicating the absence of neurotoxic effects from exposure to the tested biomaterials. These findings provide valuable insights into the biosafety of modified HA-based nanostructured biomaterials, making them a promising strategy for bone tissue repair.

This combination was obtained by a chemical co-reduction approach, followed by freeze-processing, and was shown to ensure stability and on-site delivery of AgNPs, without altering the hemostatic properties of NMFs. Silver-loaded NMFs showed no change in their unique architecture and led to a 55% increase in clot strength, compared to standard control plasma or commercially available THA, and a significant decrease in mean fibrin fiber diameter.

Ten models were generated, encompassing five long (L1-L5) and five short implant models (S1-S5) with variations in diameter and length. Hypermesh software was utilized to meticulously prepare the FEA models, ensuring accurate mesh generation. The FEA simulations were conducted under four distinct loading scenarios (100 N occlusal load, 40 N lateral load, 100 N oblique at 30°, and 100 N oblique at 45°) to realistically mimic the forces exerted during biting, using an ABAQUS CAE solver. The results revealed that the von Mises stress generated within the short implant models was demonstrably lower compared to their long implants. Additionally, a significant drop in stress was observed with increasing the diameter of the short implants, to a certain diameter range. These findings suggest the potential for successful substitution of long implant model L4 with short implant model S4 due to the demonstrably lower stress values achieved. Furthermore, the data indicates the possibility of utilizing short implant models S3 and S5 as alternatives to long implant models L3 and L5, respectively.

In the presented study, it was aimed to develop poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) microcarriers using the emulsion preparation-solvent evaporation technique. The optimized diameter of the PBAT microcarriers was determined as 104 ± 15 μm at 700 rpm and there would be no blockage after injection due to the nonswelling feature of microcarriers. Furthermore, the cellular activities of PBAT microcarriers were evaluated in static culture for 7 days using L929 mouse fibroblasts, MC3T3-E1 mouse pre-osteoblasts, and rat adipose-derived mesenchymal cells (AdMSCs). 3-[4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide results and Sscanning electron microscope images showed that PBAT microcarriers increased the adhesion and proliferation properties of pre-osteoblasts and stem cells, while L929 fibroblasts formed aggregates by adhering to certain regions of the microcarrier surface and did not spread on the surface.
